I am new to the forum and thought it would be interesting to hear some of your favorite rehab /training myths.
I will start with, "never let your knee go past your toes while exercising"

Good one.
How about "if you want to just "tone" your muscles (what does this mean?) you should lift light weights for lots of reps. If you want to avoid getting big, don't lift heavy."
It's funny that the opposite is true, and that VOLUME, not load, builds size/hypertrophy.

Here's one. "All will be well if you just do all your exercises for 10 repetitions, 3 times, 3 times a day."

How about you need to isolate the muscle to strengthen it.

JMA,
Is it the manner in which you "let your elbows or knees lock out" during the bench or leg press that could prove detrimental and not necessarily the act itself?

I see it as full extension of the elbows and knees that could be damaging to joint using heavy weights.

Along the lines of JMA's posts, I like to tell patients/clients to have their joints "straight but not locked".
This discourages locking the joint and resting the weight on the joint structures.
It also takes away from the total time under tension of the muscle unit, hampering strength gains.

jma,
I'm not sure I disagree with training to failure occasionally.
Put in a periodized program, I think there is a role for that type of stimulus.
However, the biggest problem many of us see is people taking reps to failure EVERY time.
That's another issue entirely.

Unfortunately, I heard this phrase being used with senior citizens. It should never be considerered, even occassionally.
